Iran has a Mach 14 missile which they gave to Yemen. The Houthis built a cheap version of it. The new Houthi missile is Mach 10.
Russia made Iran a strategic partner. Iran has been given the Mach 12 Kinzhal which digs a hole 98 feet (30 meters) deep where its target used to be. They have also been given the Mach 9 Zircon cruise missile. The US and the UK Navies still are using subsonic Mach 0.7 missiles. Iran’s Navy has a cruise missile 12.86 times faster than ours.
Russia has also upgraded Iran to the S-400 air defense system. The US Patriot system is far worse than the old Soviet S-300 which made its debut in 1978. The Russians also gave them long range radar to eliminate sneak attacks. The Iranians already had developed radar that could detect stealth jets.
The Russians gave Iran the Murmansk BN Electronic Warfare system. It jams allied communications thousands of kilometers distant.
Previously, the Iranians received SU-35 jets. I assume the Iranians also received the Russian R-37 air to air 400-kilometer range missile. That is 218 miles further than America’s 50-mile range version. Iran has lots of drones and could fire the R-37 before US and Israeli jets got close enough to launch missiles at key Iranian assets.
Iran can close the Straits of Hormuz to oil traffic. That will send oil over $250 a barrel and bankrupt the US and Israel plus a few billion others.
